Judy, That was a nightmare. I recently read about a family living in Chile and she (the mom) has a very difficult time affording fresh veggies. She said asparagus, a few stalks, were $26, at that price it would be difficult. She said not just asparagus but all the fresh produce is high.

I cringe at the price of gas, too. Gas prices have to be driving up the cost of food. Also the crazy weather.

Did you get alot of snow? A few people have fallen on the black ice here....really got to be careful with that.

Yes Barb we got a ton of snow 29-32 inches in my area I did some shoveling but was getting a bit discouraged with how long it was gonna take and then my hero neighbor came by with a riding snow blower and offered to make some snow go away on the driveway for 15 dollars I couldn;t believe it he made it look easy I gave him 20 because the gas for that thing must cost at least 10 dollars I rode my bike indoors today and tomorrow is shopping day will do weight lifting then I feel like I am hibernating like a bear .. I do think the gas prices have a lot to do with the cost of food Hugs Judy:)

Judy,Even when snow gets in the 4-6 inch range and there are winds, it can block your doors and the wind makes it fall from the roofs, too, to create more blockage around your house. I used to live in the country on 2 acres and had a really long driveway. When it snowed I had to pay $50! It woul really set me back when it snowed more than once a week, but there was no choice and I felt lucky to get someone to do it.

That is cool that your neighbor has a riding snow blower. You could really hurt yourself by trying to lift that heavy snow. You must have some really BIG piles of snow after this dig out.

Glad to hear you are safe. Using that indoor bike is the way to go in this weather. That will give you some cardio and keep your flexibility, too. I really like to have some exercise options at home.

Keep up the good work!

yes Barb the wind was blowing stong with the 29 inches and we couldnt open either of the doors so we started in the driveway since that door goes up instead of out it was the best place to start the windows screens were covered with snow couldn;t even see out in one side of the house . Here is a Photo of the neighbor you can barly see him on the rideing blower.

Your neighbor gets the Good Neighbor Award for sure! My DH will blow out the neighbor's drives, but they are not big and the snow isn't anywhere near 29 inches. He does it to get some exercise and just to be nice.

HI NICE NEIGHBOR!!!! I wonder if he knows this pic of him being a hero is online, lol. Lots of snow, there Judy. Thank heavens you didn't have to do the whole drive on your own. At least you are able to get some sort of exercise in, with your bike, and I'm sure you are doing your jumping jacks too. I want to have your activity/energy level, forever.huggsk

Judy, I have seen boots for dogs! Funny about your grand dogs and the snow and how your Mich dogs loved it. All depends what they get used to.

Good luck with your car. I hate car problems, but at least it can be fixed. Just more to do.

I am really getting close to goal weight, about 1.4 away. I have been watching and measuring and not getting off track when the scale went up a bit....that is so important to not get discouraged about working the plan and see the #'s go up.

Have a good Wednesday!.

Good job Barb getting so close to goal weight ! me too even with these horrable conditions I am getting some exercise in and the 153 is now 151 so I am getting closer too . It is just a matter of setting limits on the food and getting even a half hour of exercise in my case that works ..I am sure the Michigan pups have boots they came here with their coats only though so far so good wednesday is going fine so far

Hugs Judy:)
